Visual Studio 2010调试器

Question

I'm having some problems (as some of you will see from another question I asked) with getting a program I made in Visual Studio 2010 to run on another computer. My computer is Windows 7 x64 The destination computer is Windows XP x86 (SP2)

I've already checked to see that I'm compiling for x86.

Anyway, my question is: Is there a debugger I can install that will tell me what errors the program is having? Like a .NET Debugger that does not involve me installing Visual Studio 2010 on the destination computer?

Answer 1

If you have access to the client computer when it is running the program, the easiest thing would probably be to deploy the remote debugger , and debug the program on your own machine, while it is running on the client PC.

Otherwise, you can use DbgClr , which is distrubted with the .NET framework SDK.

Answer 2

One option is to use WinDbg + the SOS extension. This is a much lighter weight debugger that is easily installable but has a steeper learning curve than Visual Studio. I often use it though when I need a light weight debugging experience

• SOS: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb190764.aspx

Another option is to use a program like ProcDump to take several snapshot dumps of your program on the remote computer and USB copy them to debug back at your workstation.

You can save a dump at various triggers like an Unhandled exception. Visual Studio can open the dump back at your workstation and 2010 supports mixed mode debugging.
